About our bath repair in Pirton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Pirton questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Pirton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Do you need bath repair in Pirton?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pirton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
