Bath repair in Meudon without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

FAQs for Meudon

Do you come to Meudon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Meudon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
