Bath repair in Middle Handley without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Middle Handley. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath repair in Middle Handley
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
If you’re in Middle Handley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Middle Handley
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 nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Middle Handley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
