DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath repair in Widbrook
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Widbrook: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Widbrook?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Widbrook and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Widbrook
Repairing versus replacing in Widbrook
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we’re called out for in Widbrook
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
