Your questions about bath repair in Maesbury
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work in Maesbury?
We do. We send a technician to Maesbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maesbury
If you manage property in Maesbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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.

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
