For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair at your home in Maplescombe
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath repair in Maplescombe
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Signs you need bath repair in Maplescombe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repair or replace in Maplescombe?
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. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
Why Maplescombe customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Maplescombe. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
If you’re in Maplescombe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
