Mid Yell: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you cover Mid Yell?
We do. Technicians travel to Mid Yell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
About our bath repair in Mid Yell
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mid Yell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
