Bath repair at your home in Kirtling Green
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirtling Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Kirtling Green questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you work in Kirtling Green?
We do. We send a technician to Kirtling Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What we’re called out for in Kirtling Green
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
