Bath repair at your home in Hinxton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in Hinxton
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hinxton. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Hinxton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we’re called out for in Hinxton
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinxton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Hinxton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hinxton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
