Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Millhouse Green

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?

All of Barnsley, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Have new chips seen to early

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Do you need bath repair in Millhouse Green?

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

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 you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
