How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hickling. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hickling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Bath repair in Hickling without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath repair in Hickling
How do I get a price for bath repair in Hickling?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR12 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
