About our bath repair in Smisby
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Smisby and across Leicestershire.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Questions from Smisby
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 we need access under the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When to call us in Smisby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
