Trusted bath repair in Pilsworth

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath repair in Pilsworth, done in place

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Pilsworth

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

When to call us in Pilsworth

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Pilsworth

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pilsworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Pilsworth and want a price, 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.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Pilsworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
