A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Burwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Burwell and the surrounding area

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

FAQs for Burwell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Burwell and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Burwell?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
