How we handle bath repair in Leicester
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a chip where the taps sit, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
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.
When to call us in Leicester
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Most clients in Leicester get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Leicester
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
