- A kit repair that didn’t last
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
About our bath repair in Wanlip
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath repair in Wanlip
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wanlip use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
