Bickenhill: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Bickenhill
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bickenhill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bickenhill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Bickenhill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
