Common questions in Ullesthorpe
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?

What else we do in Ullesthorpe
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Ullesthorpe
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Ullesthorpe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
