The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and 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 the part we put right.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Cadeby?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cadeby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Cadeby clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Usually one visit, start to finish

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What affects the price in Cadeby
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cadeby. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Cadeby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Cadeby
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
Questions from Cadeby
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What else we do in Cadeby
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
