About our bath repair in Milton of Leys
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Milton of Leys. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Milton of Leys
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
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.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Milton of Leys
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
