About our bath repair in Three Gates
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Three Gates
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Three Gates questions
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What else we do in Three Gates
Repair or replace in Three Gates?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Three Gates
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
