Bath repair in Leighterton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Leighterton questions
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Leighterton
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
If you are in Leighterton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Leighterton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Leighterton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
