What affects the price in Pickwell
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pickwell. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
About our bath repair in Pickwell
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Do you need bath repair in Pickwell?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK

What else we do in Pickwell
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
