Bath repair in Wilburton, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Wilburton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Wilburton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairing versus replacing in Wilburton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Wilburton
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wilburton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CB6 postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
