Bath repair at your home in Buttermere
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Buttermere
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Signs you need bath repair in Buttermere
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Buttermere: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SN8 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will the repair show?
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Buttermere. Prices do not change with location.
Repair or replace in Buttermere?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
