Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for Mildenhall
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Mildenhall. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Mildenhall?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IP28 postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlord and trade work in Mildenhall
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
