Bath repair at your home in Hadstock

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hadstock as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Hadstock clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When to call us in Hadstock

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips under the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hadstock. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos 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

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Hadstock: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Do you work in Hadstock?

We do. We send a technician to Hadstock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Hadstock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
