How we handle bath repair in Impington
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Impington
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Impington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath repair in Impington
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Impington
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Impington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Impington and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Impington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
