Bath repair at your home in Wickham Market
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not 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. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Common problems we fix in Wickham Market
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
