We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. 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. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath repair in Saxby, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Saxby
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

FAQs for Saxby
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
