About our bath repair in Wilton Dean
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Wilton Dean
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Wilton Dean?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wilton Dean from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How much does bath repair cost in Wilton Dean?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilton Dean
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilton Dean use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilton Dean. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
