Local bath repair for Midgley: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Midgley without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What we are called out for in Midgley
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
