Bath repair at your home in South Newton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in South Newton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Questions from South Newton
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to South Newton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to South Newton and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in South Newton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
