About our bath repair in Wigston

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Wigston

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wigston?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE18 postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wigston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Do you need bath repair in Wigston?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wigston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
