Bath repair for Millington Green homes

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Millington Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Millington Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Millington Green

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for these signs:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
