About our bath repair in Wicken
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wicken and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wicken. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Wicken
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 will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Wicken: your questions answered
Do you come to Wicken?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wicken and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
