Bath repair in Aylestone, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Aylestone
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Aylestone?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Aylestone included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair in Aylestone
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled

- How to care for the finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Aylestone?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Aylestone clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
