Bath repair at your home in Alderton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Alderton and across Wiltshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Alderton

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What else we do in Alderton
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Alderton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, 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.
Alderton questions
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Alderton.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When to call us in Alderton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
