Bath Repair in Milstead

- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Bath repair in Milstead, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What else we do in Milstead
Landlord and trade work in Milstead
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milstead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath repair in Milstead
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover Milstead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Milstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
