Your questions about bath repair in Burnaston
Do you work in Burnaston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Burnaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Burnaston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Burnaston
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What else we do in Burnaston
Signs you need bath repair in Burnaston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Burnaston
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burnaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
