Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Middletown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Middletown questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you work in Middletown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Middletown and the rest of Powys. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not 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.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
