Common problems we fix in Merridge
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items

Bath repair in Merridge without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Merridge. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
