Bath Repair for Boroughby homes
Problem with your bath in Boroughby? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Boroughby without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Boroughby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repairing versus replacing in Boroughby
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Boroughby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Boroughby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again

FAQs for Boroughby
Do you cover the whole of Peterborough?
All of Peterborough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Boroughby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Boroughby. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
