Questions from Bassingbourn
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
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 access behind the panel is important.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair at your home in Bassingbourn
We see 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 pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Bassingbourn and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need bath repair in Bassingbourn?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Before you book anyone

- Whether the price covers travel

- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
