Common problems we fix in Madingley
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What else we do in Madingley
Repair or replace in Madingley?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Madingley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Madingley
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Madingley. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Madingley
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
