- Repairs from £95

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Bath repair in Leighton without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Leighton
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leighton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Leighton questions
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
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’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
