Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Repair or replace in Mildenhall?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Questions from Mildenhall

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Mildenhall?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover Mildenhall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mildenhall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Mildenhall

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mildenhall. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath repair in Mildenhall?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
