What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

About our bath repair in Leigh

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

What affects the price in Leigh

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Leigh

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Leigh. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Leigh?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT9 postcode.

Do you work in Leigh?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Leigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we’re called out for in Leigh

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
