Signs you need bath repair in Wickham Common
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Wickham Common
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
