Bath repair at your home in Welby
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Welby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Welby questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Across the UK, so Welby is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
