About our bath repair in Bishop's Castle
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Bishop's Castle
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Bishop's Castle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Bishop's Castle
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace: which is better?

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