Ellington Thorpe questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Ellington Thorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ellington Thorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
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 we need access under the bath.

What affects the price in Ellington Thorpe
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ellington Thorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Do you need bath repair in Ellington Thorpe?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
