Bath repair in Wicken Green Village

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

About our bath repair in Wicken Green Village

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Wicken Green Village: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Wicken Green Village included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What we’re called out for in Wicken Green Village

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
