About our bath repair in Lower Dean
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Signs you need bath repair in Lower Dean
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole 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:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Lower Dean
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Dean included. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Lower Dean?
We do. We send a technician to Lower Dean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
