Reed questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath repair cost in Reed?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Reed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Reed. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
