About bath repair in LE7

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for LE7. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in LE7 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in LE7

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Common questions in LE7

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you repair coloured baths?

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. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
