Our bath repair service in LE14

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

What it costs in LE14

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for LE14. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we’re called out for in LE14

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders

Repairing versus replacing

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

Different materials, different repairs

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for LE14

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
