Repairing versus replacing in Wickstreet
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Wickstreet questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wickstreet?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Wickstreet
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Wickstreet
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wickstreet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
