The process
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 generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Common questions in Stapleton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work in Stapleton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stapleton and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Common problems we fix in Stapleton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
