About our bath repair in Milford

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common questions in Milford

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Milford

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repair or replace in Milford?

Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
