How we handle bath repair in Pye Corner
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Pye Corner
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
When to call us in Pye Corner
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
