Bath repair in South Milton, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in South Milton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Look out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Milton
If you manage property in South Milton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about bath repair in South Milton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to South Milton?
We do. We send a technician to South Milton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How much does bath repair cost in South Milton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Milton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
