Bath repair in Maythorne, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
FAQs for Maythorne
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Maythorne?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Maythorne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Maythorne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
