Bath repair for Chiseldon homes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

About our bath repair in Chiseldon

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

What affects the price in Chiseldon

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Chiseldon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chiseldon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Chiseldon

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

Your questions about bath repair in Chiseldon

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Chiseldon?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
