Bath repair for Middleton homes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

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.

How we handle bath repair in Middleton

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Middleton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Middleton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Middleton

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Middleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Middleton questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Middleton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Middleton and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
