How we handle bath repair in Melling Mount
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
Do you need bath repair in Melling Mount?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Melling Mount
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Melling Mount. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
