We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Meidrim
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Your questions about bath repair in Meidrim
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Repairing versus replacing in Meidrim
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meidrim as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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’s what we repair.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
