How we handle bath repair in Mitford
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Mitford
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Common reasons people in Mitford contact us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mitford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Mitford
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What a repair can’t fix

- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mitford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
