Bath repair in Market Lavington without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Market Lavington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Market Lavington
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
FAQs for Market Lavington
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
Across the UK, so Market Lavington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
