Bath repair for Loughborough homes

About our bath repair in Loughborough

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Loughborough as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Do you need bath repair in Loughborough?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Loughborough questions

Do you cover Loughborough?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Loughborough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Loughborough?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
