Repair or replace in Pitney?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Pitney questions

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Pitney is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Pitney?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
