Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we are called out for in Potters Marston

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

FAQs for Potters Marston

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Potters Marston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Potters Marston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Potters Marston?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE9 postcode.

Landlord and trade work in Potters Marston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Potters Marston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
