How we handle bath repair in East Pilton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from East Pilton
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How much does bath repair cost in East Pilton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH4 postcode.
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.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in East Pilton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
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.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
