How we handle bath repair in Caldecote
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Caldecote
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Caldecote
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the whole of Milton Keynes?
All of Milton Keynes, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
