Repairing versus replacing in Bartlow
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Bartlow
If you manage property in Bartlow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Bartlow
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Bartlow: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bartlow.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bartlow. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bartlow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
