Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Millhouses
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us

Questions from Millhouses
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?
Everywhere in the UK, Millhouses included. Travel is included in the price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
