How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Histon
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Histon?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB24 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What affects the price in Histon
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Histon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Histon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
When to call us in Histon
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
