How we handle bath repair in Calcott
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Calcott
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Calcott. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath repair in Calcott
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Calcott?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Calcott and the rest of Shropshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
