Bath repair in Midhopestones, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Midhopestones
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What areas do you cover?
All of Barnsley, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What we’re called out for in Midhopestones
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Midhopestones
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
