Bath repair at your home in Millbrook
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Millbrook
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Millbrook
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
