Medbourne: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Medbourne?
We do. Technicians travel to Medbourne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Medbourne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need bath repair in Medbourne
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What affects the price in Medbourne
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Medbourne, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in Medbourne?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
