About bath repair in PE16

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What’s near Chatteris

Typical jobs here are in homes near George Hotel, United Reformed Church and Kingsfield Primary School, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Chatteris Museum (within half a mile south-east).

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the damage happens

Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Common questions in PE16

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
