About bath repair in MK4
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Prices in MK4
Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Local landmarks in Westcroft
We visit homes around Shenley Brook End School, Oxley Park Academy and Nut & Squirrel pub. The nearest railway station is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 2.4 miles north-east.

The countryside around Westcroft includes Furzton Lake and Blue Lagoon Park.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for MK4. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
MK4: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover the entire of Milton Keynes?
We cover the whole UK, including MK4 and the rest of Milton Keynes. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
