What affects the price in Cross Houses
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath repair in Cross Houses
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cross Houses and across Shropshire.

Your questions about bath repair in Cross Houses
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repairing versus replacing in Cross Houses
