Bath repair in Bickley, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bickley and across Greater London.

Bickley questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Bickley. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are you accredited?

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.

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Landlord and trade work in Bickley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bickley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Bickley
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bickley. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
