Bath repair at your home in Wickham Heath
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Wickham Heath
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wickham Heath. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Wickham Heath
How invisible is a bath repair?
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 information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Wickham Heath
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
