Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
King's Cliffe questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to King's Cliffe. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in King's Cliffe?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Other services in King's Cliffe
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in King's Cliffe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
