Repairing versus replacing in Babraham
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Babraham customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle bath repair in Babraham
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Babraham
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Babraham.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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 we need access under the bath.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you cover Babraham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Babraham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Landlord and trade work in Babraham
For anyone letting property in or around Babraham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Babraham
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
