Bath repair for Burton Lazars homes

How we handle bath repair in Burton Lazars

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burton Lazars. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Burton Lazars, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Burton Lazars

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover Burton Lazars?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burton Lazars from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Burton Lazars?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE14 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What we’re called out for in Burton Lazars

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
