Bath repair near Maypole

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Maypole

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Maypole questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you come to Maypole?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Maypole. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Common problems we fix in Maypole

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
