Trusted bath repair in Leicester Forest West

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos

Bath repair in Leicester Forest West, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Leicester Forest West

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Have new chips seen to early

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Leicester Forest West. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leicester Forest West as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
