Bath repair in Madeley without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Nearby too are The Anchor pub (under half a mile south-west) and St Mary's Church (less than half a mile east). For rail, the closest station is Telford Central station, about 3 miles north.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Madeley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Madeley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need bath repair in Madeley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace in Madeley?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Madeley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Madeley?
We do. Technicians travel to Madeley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair last?
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. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
