About bath repair in Leicestershire

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

What it costs in Leicestershire

Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Leicestershire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Leicestershire

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Leicestershire

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leicestershire use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Leicestershire questions

When can I have a bath again?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
