Piece: your questions answered
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.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath repair in Piece, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
