Bath repair in Metham without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Metham questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does bath repair cost in Metham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Metham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
