Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Swavesey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How we handle bath repair in Swavesey
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swavesey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Swavesey
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Swavesey?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Swavesey.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Swavesey?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
