Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Milton Regis

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Milton Regis. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Signs you need bath repair in Milton Regis

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

  • Whether the price covers travel
