How we handle bath repair in Pinwherry
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and chips caused by builders.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Pinwherry
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pinwherry. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath repair in Pinwherry
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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Pinwherry
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
