Bath repair at your home in Girton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Girton
Do you come to Girton?
We do. Technicians travel to Girton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Girton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What else we do in Girton
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Girton
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
