How we handle bath repair in Beanacre
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, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Beanacre
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wiltshire.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Beanacre
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair in Beanacre
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Common reasons people in Beanacre contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice

Landlord and trade work in Beanacre
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
