Bath repair for Pittulie homes

About our bath repair in Pittulie

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Pittulie?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common problems we fix in Pittulie

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For a price in Pittulie, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Pittulie

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will the repair show?

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.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
