Common problems we fix in Moulton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

About our bath repair in Moulton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Moulton
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
Most customers in Moulton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Moulton: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Moulton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
