Bath repair in Braunstone Town, 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. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Braunstone Town and across Leicester.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Do you need bath repair in Braunstone Town?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Braunstone Town
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath repair cost in Braunstone Town?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE3 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Braunstone Town
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
