Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Little Ickford
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Little Ickford. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need bath repair in Little Ickford?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Ickford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
