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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Maer
How do I get a price for bath repair in Maer?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ST5 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Maer?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Maer and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Maer
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Maer. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
