How we handle bath repair in Smockington
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Smockington
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic

Common questions in Smockington
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LE10 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smockington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
