- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit

About our bath repair in Orton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Peterborough.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Orton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Orton
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Orton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
