- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 following day.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lower Milton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in Lower Milton
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
