What a repair can’t fix

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Bath repair in Hinton, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 what we repair.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hinton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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 pictures.
Hinton questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What we are called out for in Hinton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
