Bath repair across Leicester: what to expect

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
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 following day.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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.

Repairing versus replacing

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Questions to ask before you book

If travel is included in the price
Who will actually do the work
How changes to the job are handled
What protection goes down before work starts

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Leicester

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
