Our bath repair service in CB4

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a price

How the damage happens

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in CB4

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to CB4. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in CB4 and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in CB4

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
