When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Waterbeach, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Your questions about bath repair in Waterbeach
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO18 postcode.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Signs you need bath repair in Waterbeach
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
