Bath Repair in Malvern Hills
Bath repair in and around Malvern Hills: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath repair at your home in Malvern Hills
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Malvern Hills
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. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Malvern Hills: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Malvern Hills?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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 cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
