Bath Repair in Rearsby
We travel to Rearsby for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Common problems we fix in Rearsby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
Bath repair at your home in Rearsby
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Rearsby
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Rearsby and nearby
Rearsby is about 2 miles north-east of Syston, in Leicestershire. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Rearsby is one of 287 towns and villages in Leicestershire where we work. We work right across the region, from Rearsby to Birmingham (40 miles away).
Jobs in LE7 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Whether you live on Station Road, Brook House Close and Brook Street or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. We also travel to East Goscote (1 mile south-west), Thrussington (1 mile north), Ratcliffe on the Wreake (1 mile west), Queniborough (1 mile south) and Brooksby (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Loughborough (8 miles north-west), Wigston (10 miles south), Melton Mowbray (7 miles north-east), Coalville (13 miles west), Shepshed (11 miles west) and Shelthorpe (8 miles north-west).
Around Rearsby
We visit homes around Church of St Michael, The Wheel Inn and St Michael & All Angels Church of England Primary School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Syston station, roughly 2.8 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include Mountsorrel Castle (4.3 miles west).
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rearsby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
