How we handle bath repair in Bicknor
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Bicknor
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bicknor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Bicknor
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
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. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
