Bath Repair in Mountsorrel
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Mountsorrel. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
About our bath repair in Mountsorrel
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Repair or replace in Mountsorrel?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mountsorrel. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Mountsorrel: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, 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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you need bath repair in Mountsorrel?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
