Bath repair in Hickleton without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Hickleton
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Hickleton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Hickleton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hickleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Doncaster and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Hickleton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
