Bath repair in Mill Green, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Mill Green
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Mill Green?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When to call us in Mill Green
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What affects the price in Mill Green
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repairing versus replacing in Mill Green
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is 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.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
