For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hanwood Bank as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. For a rural home like those around Hanwood Bank, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hanwood Bank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Hanwood Bank
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use. For a rural address like Hanwood Bank, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the bath repair comes with us in one trip.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Hanwood Bank
My house in Hanwood Bank is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Often, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Send us photos and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can you repair baths in a rental near Shrewsbury station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Do you need bath repair in Hanwood Bank?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Landlords with property near Shrewsbury station (about 3.3 miles north-east) use us between tenancies, so baths are repaired rather than replaced.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
