What affects the price in Swaffham Bulbeck
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swaffham Bulbeck. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Swaffham Bulbeck questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swaffham Bulbeck
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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 a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in Swaffham Bulbeck
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
