Bath repair at your home in Mepal
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Mepal
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Mepal, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Mepal

What affects the price in Mepal
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Mepal. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Mepal
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
