Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Congerstone, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Congerstone
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Congerstone?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Congerstone and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What we’re called out for in Congerstone
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
