Bath repair near Pyle

Repair or replace in Pyle?

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. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Pyle clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Bath repair in Pyle, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Pyle questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

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.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we are called out for in Pyle

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pyle

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Pyle, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pyle. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.

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.
