Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Merevale, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Merevale
How do I get a price for bath repair in Merevale?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Merevale, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Warwickshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Merevale
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
