- A kit repair that didn’t last
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Eardington, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Eardington as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Eardington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Eardington and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How it works
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 two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WV16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When to call us in Eardington
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Other services in Eardington
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Eardington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
