Bath repair in Hurstbourne Priors without replacing anything

Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Hurstbourne Priors
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hurstbourne Priors
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hurstbourne Priors. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
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.
FAQs for Hurstbourne Priors
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
