Bath Repair in Weston Colville
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Weston Colville, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Weston Colville
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Weston Colville as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

What else we do in Weston Colville
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Weston Colville use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Weston Colville
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Weston Colville and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Are there extra charges for Weston Colville?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
