Bath repair at your home in Uppingham
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Uppingham questions
Do you come to Uppingham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Uppingham and the rest of Rutland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
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 without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Do you need bath repair in Uppingham?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- How soon you can use it again
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
