Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 you know the cost before booking.
Why Medlar customers choose us
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting 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 we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Medlar questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Medlar. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Medlar?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Medlar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Medlar
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Medlar get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
