How bath repair works in LE5
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
What it costs in LE5
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in LE5
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in LE5 contact us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
