- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How we handle bath repair in Middlebrook
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Middlebrook
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Middlebrook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath repair in Middlebrook
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Middlebrook?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Middlebrook. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
