How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Maypole
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Maypole. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Maypole?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
