About our bath repair in Millbridge
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

What we are called out for in Millbridge
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Millbridge questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Millbridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Millbridge and the rest of Plymouth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Millbridge. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Millbridge. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
