Bath repair at your home in SN25
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
When we visit, 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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Cost
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Local landmarks in Haydon Wick
Typical jobs here are in homes near Nova Hreod, Haydon Wick Primary School and St John's Church and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Swindon station, about 2 miles south-east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Rodbourne Cheney (1.6 miles south-east) and Baird Museum of TV (1.4 miles south).
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in SN25
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
SN25 questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
