Castle Camps: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
About our bath repair in Castle Camps
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Castle Camps
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Castle Camps, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we are called out for in Castle Camps
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Castle Camps contact us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
