About our bath repair in Pinhoe
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pinhoe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Pinhoe
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Pinhoe contact us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about bath repair in Pinhoe
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Pinhoe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
