Bath repair in Blunham, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Blunham
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover Blunham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Blunham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Blunham
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blunham. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath repair in Blunham
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
