Common questions in Millness
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LA7 postcode.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Millness?
We do. We send a technician to Millness for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
About our bath repair in Millness
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Millness
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
