Common questions in Hobbles Green
Are there extra charges for Hobbles Green?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
How much does bath repair cost in Hobbles Green?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Bath repair at your home in Hobbles Green
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

What affects the price in Hobbles Green
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures 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.
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. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Hobbles Green
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
