About our bath repair in Hickmans Green
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in Hickmans Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- 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, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hickmans Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Hickmans Green: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
