FAQs for Ashby-de-la-Zouch
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
Across the UK, so Ashby-de-la-Zouch is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.

- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
