Bath repair at your home in Miles Cross
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need bath repair in Miles Cross?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Miles Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Miles Cross: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Miles Cross?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Miles Cross. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
