Bath repair at your home in Foxton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Foxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in Foxton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What else we do in Foxton
Foxton questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 usually cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
