Bath Repair in Shropshire

About bath repair in Shropshire

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit.

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Pricing in Shropshire

Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Near you in Shrewsbury

We visit homes around St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury High School and The Crown Inn. Other local landmarks include Wakeman School (within half a mile south) and Coleham Primary School (under half a mile south). Shrewsbury has its own railway station: Shrewsbury station.

The countryside around Shrewsbury includes Bomere Pool and Haughmond Hill.

Repairing versus replacing

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shropshire. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most customers in Shropshire get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shropshire

For anyone letting property in or around Shropshire, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Shropshire questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
