How we handle bath repair in Madley Park
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Madley Park
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Madley Park.

Landlord and trade work in Madley Park
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Madley Park
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Madley Park. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
