Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 usually the cheaper route.
About our bath repair in Wickham Bishops
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When to call us in Wickham Bishops
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
