Bath Repair for Wickhambrook homes

- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
How we handle bath repair in Wickhambrook
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Wickhambrook
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Common problems we fix in Wickhambrook
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wickhambrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Wickhambrook?
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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
