Bath repair at your home in The Leys
Repairing baths is what we do most. 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 one visit. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Leys and across Herefordshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for The Leys. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in The Leys
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Leys as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
