Bath repair in Garthorpe, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Landlord and trade work in Garthorpe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we’re called out for in Garthorpe
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders

Garthorpe questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Garthorpe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Garthorpe?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Garthorpe.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
