How we handle bath repair in Pien

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Pien

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking

FAQs for Pien

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Pien

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
