About our bath repair in Muckley Corner
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When to call us in Muckley Corner
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Muckley Corner
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
