Bath repair at your home in Bishop Middleham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Bishop Middleham
Your questions about bath repair in Bishop Middleham
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Bishop Middleham?
We do. We send a technician to Bishop Middleham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
