How bath repair works in LE8
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in LE8
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the damage happens
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Questions from LE8
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
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 areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including LE8 and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
