Bath repair in Leighton

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Leighton

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Leighton?

We do. We send a technician to Leighton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Leighton

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leighton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Leighton

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
