How we handle bath repair in Pitshanger

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and snagging damage from a refit.

Questions from Pitshanger

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Pitshanger?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pitshanger. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pitshanger. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

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

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Pitshanger

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
