Do you need bath repair in Pype Hayes?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

About our bath repair in Pype Hayes
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Pype Hayes questions
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath repair cost in Pype Hayes?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pype Hayes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
