About our bath repair in Wilton
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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Wilton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. 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:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Wilton
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Wilton?
We do. Technicians travel to Wilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
About Wilton
Wilton is about 7 miles south-east of Marlborough, in Wiltshire. Jobs in Wilton are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from your photos, then a visit to do the work. We cover 425 places across Wiltshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Wilton to London (about 66 miles away).
Every address in SN8 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes homes on Hollow Lane and Grafton Road. Neighbouring places we cover include East Grafton (1 mile south-west), Wulfhall (2 miles west), Great Bedwyn (2 miles north), Burbage (2 miles west) and Chisbury (3 miles north).

What’s near Wilton
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Nicholas and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bedwyn station, roughly 2.1 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Savernake Hospital (5.8 miles north-west) and Bedwyn Stone Museum (1.7 miles north).
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Wilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Wilton
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wilton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Wilton
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
