Bath repair at your home in West Leith
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What else we do in West Leith
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Questions from West Leith
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How much does bath repair cost in West Leith?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Leith
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in West Leith?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need bath repair in West Leith?
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
