Bath repair at your home in Letcombe Bassett
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. 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, photos and access details.

Letcombe Bassett: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover Letcombe Bassett?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Letcombe Bassett for every job, 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.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common problems we fix in Letcombe Bassett
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
