How we handle bath repair in Cambois
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Cambois customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Cambois
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does bath repair cost in Cambois?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cambois is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cambois
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
