About our bath repair in Wick
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Wick questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you work in Wick?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wick and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Generally one visit, start to finish

What we’re called out for in Wick
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
