Bath repair at your home in Steam Mills
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Steam Mills
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Steam Mills: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What we do, step by step
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 two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
