How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Merrivale. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Merrivale. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath repair in Merrivale
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Merrivale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is my repair covered?

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.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

What else we do in Merrivale
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
