Repairing versus replacing in Diddlebury
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it

Bath repair in Diddlebury without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Diddlebury
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Diddlebury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Diddlebury questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
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’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
