Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

When to call us in Bickingcott
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow

FAQs for Bickingcott
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you cover Bickingcott?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bickingcott from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why Bickingcott clients choose us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Bickingcott
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bickingcott use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
