About our bath repair in Boxworth
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boxworth as everywhere else we work.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side

FAQs for Boxworth
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Boxworth included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
