Bath repair in Gobowen without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gobowen
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Gobowen

People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
