Our bath repair service in LE65
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Prices in LE65

Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for LE65. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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’s the part we put right.
LE65: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in LE65?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to LE65. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, LE65 included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
