When to call us in Benthall
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Bath repair at your home in Benthall
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repair or replace in Benthall?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Benthall clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Benthall questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Benthall included. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Benthall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Benthall, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
