What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Middlecliffe
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlecliffe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Middlecliffe questions
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Middlecliffe. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Middlecliffe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
