Bath repair across PE27: what to expect
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Pricing in PE27
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What’s near St Ives
We visit homes around St Ivo School, St Ivo School and 27 pub, among other places. You’ll also find All Saints Church (0.5 miles south) and Westfield Junior School (less than half a mile south). St Ives’s nearest station is Huntingdon station, roughly 5 miles west. A little further out are Castle Hill earthworks (3.6 miles south-east) and Hinchingbrooke Hospital (5.3 miles west). Not far away are Houghton Meadows.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in PE27
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in PE27 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
PE27 questions
Do you cover PE27?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to PE27 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
