About our bath repair in Girton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Around Girton
In Girton, that means homes near The Lord Nelson pub and St Cecilia's Church and the streets around them. Girton’s nearest station is Swinderby station, roughly 2.9 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Vinas Dolls Gallery (3.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Tunman Wood.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Questions from Girton
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Landlord and trade work in Girton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Girton
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
