Repair or replace in Hindon?

A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day.

Bath repair in Hindon, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hindon. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Your questions about bath repair in Hindon
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath repair cost?

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we are called out for in Hindon
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
