Advice
Bath repair in Pillaton, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Pillaton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Pillaton
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, 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. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
