How we handle bath repair in Hinton St Mary
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Hinton St Mary
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.

Advice
Hinton St Mary questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What else we do in Hinton St Mary
Repairing versus replacing in Hinton St Mary
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Work done at your home or business
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hinton St Mary. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hinton St Mary, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
