Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath repair in Quy Waters
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Quy Waters. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Quy Waters, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Quy Waters
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
FAQs for Quy Waters
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are there extra charges for Quy Waters?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Quy Waters?
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. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
