Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we’re called out for in Alconbury
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected

Repair or replace in Alconbury?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common questions in Alconbury
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Alconbury?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE28 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Alconbury
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Alconbury. The price reflects:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
