What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

How we handle bath repair in Pilsgate
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Typically one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Pilsgate
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
