Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Pickenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Signs you need bath repair in South Pickenham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What else we do in South Pickenham
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in South Pickenham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
