Your questions about bath repair in Goadby Marwood
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicestershire.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Goadby Marwood?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Goadby Marwood included. Travel is included in the price.
Bath repair in Goadby Marwood, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we are called out for in Goadby Marwood
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Goadby Marwood. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
