People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders

Bath repair in Legar, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Legar questions
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Legar.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is

- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Legar
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlord and trade work in Legar
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
