Bath repair at your home in Pipehouse
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, typically in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

FAQs for Pipehouse
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Pipehouse?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
All of Bath and North East Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pipehouse
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
