What affects the price in Groby
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Groby. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Questions from Groby
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Groby included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Groby
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Groby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
