How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Upwood?

Are there extra charges for Upwood?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Bath repair at your home in Upwood

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Upwood

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Upwood and nearby

Upwood is about 6 miles north of Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire. Anywhere in PE26, we carry out the work at your property. Upwood is one of 371 towns and villages in Cambridgeshire where we work. You can also see our page for London, about 64 miles away.

Our visits in PE26 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes on High Street, Church Lane and Royal Oak Close. We also cover the places around Upwood: Great Raveley (1 mile south-west), Wistow (1 mile south-east), Bury (1 mile north-east), Ramsey (2 miles north-east) and Ramsey Heights (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover St Neots (15 miles south), Huntingdon (6 miles south), St Ives (7 miles south-east), March (13 miles north-east), Whittlesey (9 miles north) and Cambourne (15 miles south).

Around Upwood

We visit homes around Church of St Peter, Cross Keys pub and Upwood Primary Academy, among other places. A little further out are Ramsey Rural Museum (2.7 miles north-east) and Bruces Castle Farm (4.9 miles west). For a walk, there’s Upwood Meadows.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upwood

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Upwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Upwood?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
