- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Advice
Bath repair in Leam Lane Estate without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Leam Lane Estate as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When to call us in Leam Lane Estate
Most bath damage comes from something 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 once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
