How we handle bath repair in Easton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can normally put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Common problems we fix in Easton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Easton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Easton questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE28 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide, so Easton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
