Bath repair near Millend

What affects the price in Millend

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Millend. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Millend, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Millend questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Millend and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
