How we handle bath repair in West Milton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in West Milton
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in West Milton
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in West Milton
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

West Milton questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How much does bath repair cost in West Milton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover West Milton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Milton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
