Your questions about bath repair in Wicken Bonhunt
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wicken Bonhunt?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Bath repair at your home in Wicken Bonhunt
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Wicken Bonhunt and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Wicken Bonhunt
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
