What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Bath repair at your home in Lyneham
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Lyneham
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lyneham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about bath repair in Lyneham
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Lyneham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lyneham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lyneham included. Travel is included in the price.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Lyneham
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
