About our bath repair in Bilstone

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Common questions in Bilstone

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Bilstone and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work in Bilstone?

We do. Technicians travel to Bilstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
