Problem with your bath in Ickleton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair in Ickleton without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally 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’ll sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Ickleton
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
