Bath repair at your home in Piddington
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Repair or replace in Piddington?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Piddington questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Piddington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
