Mill End: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Mill End
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Mill End
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mill End. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
