How we handle bath repair in Bicton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairing versus replacing in Bicton
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bicton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Bicton
Do you work in Bicton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bicton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Bicton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
