Bath repair in Orchard Leigh, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place

Signs you need bath repair in Orchard Leigh
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Orchard Leigh contact us are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Your questions about bath repair in Orchard Leigh
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Orchard Leigh and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HP5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
