Bath repair at your home in Ashbury
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swindon.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Ashbury
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole

Your questions about bath repair in Ashbury
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Swindon?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
