Bath repair in Middlestone Moor, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Middlestone Moor
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin

Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
