Bath repair near Market Bosworth

Bath repair at your home in Market Bosworth

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Market Bosworth

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Market Bosworth

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Market Bosworth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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.

Market Bosworth: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
