Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us

How we handle bath repair in Biggleswade
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Biggleswade and across Central Bedfordshire.

Biggleswade questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Biggleswade
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Biggleswade as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. 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.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Biggleswade, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
