Repairing versus replacing in Great Dalby
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Landlord and trade work in Great Dalby
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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Dalby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Great Dalby: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
