Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Mitchel Troy
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What we are called out for in Mitchel Troy
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Mitchel Troy
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace in Mitchel Troy?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
