Bath repair at your home in Toothill
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Toothill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Signs you need bath repair in Toothill
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlord and trade work in Toothill
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace in Toothill?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Toothill
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work in Toothill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Toothill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
