Bath repair in Mossy Lea, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mossy Lea use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Mossy Lea questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Mossy Lea?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mossy Lea from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
