About our bath repair in Melincourt
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Melincourt
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Melincourt
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Melincourt. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Melincourt: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
