Great Gidding: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Gidding.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Great Gidding
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your photos

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Gidding, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

All of PE28 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes homes on Main Street, Chapel End and Dells Close. Close by, we cover Luddington in the Brook (1 mile north-west), Winwick (2 miles south-west), Thurning (2 miles west), Glatton (3 miles north-east) and Sawtry (3 miles east).

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need bath repair in Great Gidding?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
