Repairing versus replacing in Milton Green

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Bath repair in Milton Green, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Milton Green

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Milton Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you cover Milton Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Milton Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milton Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
