Repairing versus replacing in Mill Green
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mill Green. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Mill Green
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Common questions in Mill Green
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are there extra charges for Mill Green?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Mill Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mill Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
