How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath repair in Camb
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Camb. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What else we do in Camb
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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 without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in Camb
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Shetland Islands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Camb included. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
