Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
FAQs for Legbourne
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for Legbourne?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What we are called out for in Legbourne
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Legbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Legbourne, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
