Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
About our bath repair in Methven
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Methven
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover Methven?
We do. We send a technician to Methven for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. 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. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Methven
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Methven and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we are called out for in Methven
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
