Bath repair in Bickington, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bickington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are

Bickington questions
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When to call us in Bickington
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Bickington
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
