How we handle bath repair in Maidwell
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
What else we do in Maidwell
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Maidwell. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
The process
Once we’re 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 a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Maidwell: your questions answered
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 guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
