About bath repair in PE5
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What’s near Castor
Typical jobs here are in homes near Castor CofE Primary School, Prince Of Wales Feathers pub and Church of St Kyneburgha and the streets around them. The closest station to Castor is Peterborough station, about 3.9 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Peterborough Castle (4.4 miles east) and Edith Cavell Healthcare Campus (2.9 miles east). Not far away are Castor Hanglands National Nature Reserve and Orton Mere.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Landlord and trade work in PE5
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for PE5. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in PE5 get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
PE5 questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in PE5?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to PE5. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
