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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Bath repair in Pickletillum without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pickletillum. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pickletillum. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Chips under the taps

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
