Bath repair in Wigston Fields, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Wigston Fields
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Wigston Fields
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
