About our bath repair in Hungarton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Hungarton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hungarton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For a price in Hungarton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Hungarton?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Hungarton
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Hungarton and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hungarton.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Hungarton
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
