Bath repair in Comberton, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in Comberton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole

Common questions in Comberton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Comberton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Comberton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
