Bath repair at your home in Malpas
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Malpas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Signs you need bath repair in Malpas
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Malpas: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
