Bath repair at your home in Great Shefford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Shefford. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
