Bath repair in Bourn without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace in Bourn?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start 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 us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What we’re called out for in Bourn
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole

Your questions about bath repair in Bourn
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you come to Bourn?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bourn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
