About our bath repair in Hurst Wickham
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Hurst Wickham
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole

What else we do in Hurst Wickham
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
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 without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Advice
Questions from Hurst Wickham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
