What we’re called out for in Humberstone
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for Humberstone
What happens if you find more damage?

Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicester.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
