Bath repair at your home in Mickley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairing versus replacing in Mickley
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Mickley
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Mickley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
