About our bath repair in Midgham Green
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Midgham Green
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover Midgham Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Midgham Green. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
