Bath repair in Shudy Camps, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you have a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Somewhere as small as Shudy Camps, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Bath repair in place avoids all of that.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. For a rural address like Shudy Camps, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath repair comes with us in one trip.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Shudy Camps: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Shudy Camps?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, with the same prices as anywhere else.
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Shudy Camps?
Typically, yes. Older baths are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Shudy Camps, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Replacement in Shudy Camps means trades, travel and waste removal, while bath repair is one trip.
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Shudy Camps
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
For older houses around Shudy Camps, near landmarks such as Church of St Mary, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- 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.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
