Bath repair in Pightley, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pightley and across Somerset.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Pightley: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pightley?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Pightley
When to call us in Pightley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Pightley
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Pightley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
