Bath repair at your home in Mucklestone
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mucklestone as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath repair in Mucklestone?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Mucklestone, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Mucklestone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Mucklestone

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Mucklestone
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Are there extra charges for Mucklestone?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Mucklestone included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Mucklestone?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mucklestone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
