About our bath repair in Middlewood Green

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Middlewood Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Middlewood Green

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Middlewood Green

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When to call us in Middlewood Green

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
