Bath repair in Royston, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Royston as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Royston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Royston
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Royston and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does bath repair cost in Royston?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common problems we fix in Royston
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Landlords, agents and businesses in Royston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
