Bath Repair for South Leigh homes
We travel to South Leigh for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath repair in South Leigh, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in South Leigh
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs

South Leigh questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to South Leigh. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What else we do in South Leigh
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
