Signs you need bath repair in Horseway
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repair or replace in Horseway?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horseway. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Cromwell Community College, among other places. The nearest railway station is Manea station, about 4 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Chatteris Museum (2.3 miles west).
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Horseway questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. 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 water can get through to the floor below.
