Bath repair at your home in Mythop

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Questions from Mythop

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How much does bath repair cost in Mythop?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Mythop?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Do you need bath repair in Mythop?

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips caused by builders
