Bath repair at your home in Welsh Bicknor
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Welsh Bicknor, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Welsh Bicknor
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. 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’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Welsh Bicknor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Welsh Bicknor questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Welsh Bicknor?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Welsh Bicknor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welsh Bicknor
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
