How we handle bath repair in Craven Arms
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Craven Arms, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Questions from Craven Arms
What do you need from me?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
