Bath repair at your home in Pilley Bailey
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

- Acrylic
What we’re called out for in Pilley Bailey
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Pilley Bailey questions
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pilley Bailey. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
If you’re in Pilley Bailey and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
