Bath chip & crack repair in Mill Hill, Kent

How we handle bath repair in Mill Hill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Mill Hill questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you need bath repair in Mill Hill?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Mill Hill
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
