How we handle bath repair in Kibworth Harcourt
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and cracks in an acrylic bath, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Kibworth Harcourt?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Repairing versus replacing in Kibworth Harcourt
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Your questions about bath repair in Kibworth Harcourt
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
