How we handle bath repair in Millholme
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Millholme questions

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
