Bath chip & crack repair in Whaddon, Wiltshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Whaddon, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath repair in Whaddon, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whaddon and across Wiltshire.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whaddon. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Whaddon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whaddon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Whaddon
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Whaddon?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whaddon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Materials and what they mean for 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 bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
