Questions from East Perry
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
About our bath repair in East Perry
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in East Perry
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
