Bath repair at your home in Milton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. 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. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Milton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about bath repair in Milton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Common problems we fix in Milton
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Milton
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Milton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Milton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
