Bath repair for Micklefield homes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How we handle bath repair in Micklefield

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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

Do you need bath repair in Micklefield?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Micklefield. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
