Bath repair in and around Merlin's Bridge: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Merlin's Bridge
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Merlin's Bridge questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Merlin's Bridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
