Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath repair in Levens
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Levens
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How much does bath repair cost in Levens?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LA8 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When to call us in Levens
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Levens
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
