A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Common problems we fix in Pitch Place

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pitch Place as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Your questions about bath repair in Pitch Place

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Pitch Place. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
