Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath repair in Ightfield without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Ightfield
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ightfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Ightfield
What your bath is made of matters
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Ightfield
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Ightfield included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not 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.
