Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Mill Green

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Mill Green

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath repair in Mill Green

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Mill Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Mill Green

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Mill Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
