Bickleigh questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bickleigh?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Bath repair in Bickleigh, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bickleigh as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Bickleigh
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bickleigh. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bickleigh, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Bickleigh?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
