Bath repair in Maryfield, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we are called out for in Maryfield
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
