Bath Repair across Wiltshire

Our bath repair service in Wiltshire

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow.

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in Wiltshire

Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wiltshire

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wiltshire. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Wiltshire: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Wiltshire included. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
