When a repair isn’t the answer

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

How we handle bath repair in Miltown
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Miltown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Miltown
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
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 access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Miltown, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
