Local bath repair for Earl Shilton: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
About our bath repair in Earl Shilton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Earl Shilton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Earl Shilton. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match

- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Earl Shilton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit

Common questions in Earl Shilton
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
