Wilpshire: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Bath repair in Wilpshire without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Wilpshire
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include

What else we do in Wilpshire
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures 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, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Wilpshire
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wilpshire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Wilpshire
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
