When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Fonthill Gifford questions
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you come to Fonthill Gifford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Fonthill Gifford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Fonthill Gifford
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fonthill Gifford
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
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 reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
