Bath repair in Mickley without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Mickley
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE55 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Mickley
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
