Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side.

Repairing versus replacing in Letheringham
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Letheringham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Letheringham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Your questions about bath repair in Letheringham
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Letheringham
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
