Bath repair in Erlestoke without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Erlestoke: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How invisible is a bath 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.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Erlestoke
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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 it pays to deal with it early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Erlestoke?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
