Your questions about bath repair in Prickwillow
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Prickwillow?
We do. We send a technician to Prickwillow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Prickwillow?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CB7 postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we handle bath repair in Prickwillow
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Prickwillow
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Prickwillow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
