How we handle bath repair in Fowlmere
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath repair in Fowlmere
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath repair cost in Fowlmere?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cambridgeshire.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath repair in Fowlmere?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fowlmere
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Fowlmere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
