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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
About our bath repair in Picton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Flintshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Picton
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Flintshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Picton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Picton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlord and trade work in Picton
If you manage property in Picton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
