Bath repair in Top o' th' Meadows, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Top o' th' Meadows: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Top o' th' Meadows.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Are there extra charges for Top o' th' Meadows?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we’re called out for in Top o' th' Meadows
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
