Bath repair in Pitcaple, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pitcaple. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we are called out for in Pitcaple
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Pitcaple
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
