Bath repair in Macmerry without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Macmerry questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
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.
Are there extra charges for Macmerry?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What else we do in Macmerry
Do you need bath repair in Macmerry?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
