What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense 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. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Bath repair at your home in Foston
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Foston
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Foston.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Foston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foston. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Foston included. Travel is included in the price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Foston. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Foston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Foston
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
