Bath repair in Upton, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Upton?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Upton
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Upton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
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.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
