How we handle bath repair in Southoe
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Southoe questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Southoe and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When to call us in Southoe
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What affects the price in Southoe
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What else we do in Southoe
Landlord and trade work in Southoe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
