Bath repair in Maud without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for Maud
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
