Bath repair at your home in Collingbourne Ducis
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What else we do in Collingbourne Ducis
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Collingbourne Ducis. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Questions from Collingbourne Ducis
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What your bath is made of matters
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
