Bath repair in Asfordby without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Asfordby and across Leicestershire.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about bath repair in Asfordby
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Asfordby?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE14 postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath repair in Asfordby
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Asfordby contact us are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Asfordby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
