Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Common problems we fix in Lennie
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Lennie
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you come to Lennie?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lennie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
