How bath repair works in MK18
You do not 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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.
Cost
Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What’s near Buckingham
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Buckingham School, The Three Cups Public House and George Grenville Academy. Nearby you will also find Buckingham Movie Museum (within half a mile north-west) and Buckingham Community Hospital (within half a mile north). The countryside around Buckingham includes Buckingham Sand Pit.
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in MK18
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
FAQs for MK18
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so MK18 is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
