Repair or replace in Wicken?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Wicken
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we’re called out for in Wicken
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
