Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Sketchley questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Sketchley and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Sketchley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sketchley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we are called out for in Sketchley
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sketchley. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sketchley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Sketchley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
