DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Melton Ross questions

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How much does bath repair cost in Melton Ross?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN38 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath repair in Melton Ross?

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. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Melton Ross. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
