Common questions in Mabe Burnthouse
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Mabe Burnthouse?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
