DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair at your home in Hodnet
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Hodnet: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Hodnet?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hodnet and the rest of Shropshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
