About our bath repair in Bickleigh
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bickleigh
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Bickleigh questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Bickleigh?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bickleigh and the rest of Plymouth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bickleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Bickleigh
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
