How we handle bath repair in Campsea Ashe
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Campsea Ashe as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Campsea Ashe
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Campsea Ashe
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Campsea Ashe. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Campsea Ashe
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
