How we handle bath repair in Bicker
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Bicker
Do you need bath repair in Bicker?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bicker as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Bicker, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Questions from Bicker
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
