Bath repair at your home in Milston
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlord and trade work in Milston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Milston questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Milston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Milston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
