How we handle bath repair in Bagley
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bagley and across Shropshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often 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 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.
Landlord and trade work in Bagley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bagley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When to call us in Bagley
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. 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 repair chips early.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
