About our bath repair in Wickersley
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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 often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When to call us in Wickersley
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote

- How long it needs to cure
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickersley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wickersley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
