Bath repair in Heydon without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Your questions about bath repair in Heydon
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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 picture.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Heydon
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Heydon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What affects the price in Heydon
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
