Bath repair at your home in Muddlebridge
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Muddlebridge
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Muddlebridge
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
