Bath repair in Piddlehinton, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Piddlehinton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When to call us in Piddlehinton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
