Bath repair at your home in Cambourne

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cambourne and across Cambridgeshire.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cambourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Cambourne

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Repair or replace in Cambourne?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cambourne. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
