Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Ickwell
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you work in Ickwell?
We do. Technicians travel to Ickwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
