Landlord and trade work in Melton Mowbray
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Melton Mowbray. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 normally the cheaper route.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Common questions in Melton Mowbray
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather 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 you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What else we do in Melton Mowbray
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Melton Mowbray
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
