Bath repair in Lower Shelton without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Shelton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Lower Shelton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
