Bath repair in Hinton Parva without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hinton Parva and across Swindon.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hinton Parva. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Hinton Parva, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Hinton Parva
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side

Common questions in Hinton Parva
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, 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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
