Bath Repair for Little Melton homes
We travel to Little Melton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
About our bath repair in Little Melton
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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Little Melton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Your questions about bath repair in Little Melton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Little Melton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
