Bath repair in Icknield, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Icknield
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath repair cost in Icknield?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Icknield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Icknield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need bath repair in Icknield

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
