Bath repair in Madeley

Bath repair in Madeley without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Madeley

If you manage property in Madeley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need bath repair in Madeley?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
