Common questions in Milnthorpe
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What affects the price in Milnthorpe
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 won’t last.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Milnthorpe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
