Trusted bath repair in Mickley

Do you need bath repair in Mickley?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mickley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Mickley customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Mickley

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Mickley?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
