- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last

When to call us in Fulbourn
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
How we handle bath repair in Fulbourn
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Fulbourn
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide, so Fulbourn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Fulbourn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fulbourn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fulbourn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
