About our bath repair in Ickham
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is 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. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
What we’re called out for in Ickham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Your questions about bath repair in Ickham
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Ickham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
