About our bath repair in Micklebring

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Micklebring

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Rotherham.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you come to Micklebring?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Micklebring. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Rotherham?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Micklebring. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rotherham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Micklebring, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
