Our bath repair service in MK7

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Pricing in MK7

Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Around Walton

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Thomas, The Redway School and The Caldecotte Arms and the streets around them. Nearby too are Walton High (0.5 miles north-east) and Heronsgate School (less than half a mile east). The closest station to Walton is Bow Brickhill station, roughly 0.9 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include The Holley/Cornelius Collection (2.3 miles south-west) and Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre (3 miles north-west). Open spaces near Walton include Caldecotte Lake and Blue Lagoon Park.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

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.

Repairing versus replacing

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for MK7. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the damage happens

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for MK7

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for MK7?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I get a price for bath repair in MK7?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
