How we handle bath repair in Letham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Letham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Letham. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Letham: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Do you need bath repair in Letham?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
