Bath repair in Leicester

About bath repair in Leicester

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
