How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Grittleton. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Bath repair in Grittleton without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. 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. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Grittleton questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you come to Grittleton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Grittleton and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need bath repair in Grittleton?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Landlord and trade work in Grittleton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
