How we handle bath repair in Pilgrims Hatch
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
When to call us in Pilgrims Hatch

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, 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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairing versus replacing in Pilgrims Hatch
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pilgrims Hatch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the whole UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs

What else we do in Pilgrims Hatch
What affects the price in Pilgrims Hatch
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pilgrims Hatch, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Pilgrims Hatch questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair show?
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.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
