Bath repair at your home in Comberton
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Signs you need bath repair in Comberton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Questions from Comberton
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Comberton?
We do. We send a technician to Comberton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Comberton included. Travel is included in the price.
What affects the price in Comberton
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Comberton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
