When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Micklefield Green

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

How we handle bath repair in Micklefield Green

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

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

FAQs for Micklefield Green

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
