About our bath repair in Narborough

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Narborough

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

FAQs for Narborough

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, 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 photo.

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.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How we price bath repair

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
