Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle bath repair in Meads
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath repair in Meads?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Meads
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit

- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
