Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath repair in Pixey Green, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pixey Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Pixey Green
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Pixey Green?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
