Bath Repair in Sherston
We travel to Sherston for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we handle bath repair in Sherston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Sherston
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Sherston: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sherston.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Common problems we fix in Sherston
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sherston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
