Bath chip & crack repair in Market Overton, Rutland

- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath repair in Market Overton without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Market Overton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Market Overton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Market Overton: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
