Bath Repair for Madeley Heath homes
Problem with your bath in Madeley Heath? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
Bath repair in Madeley Heath 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. You can normally use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Madeley Heath: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Madeley Heath
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
