Bath Repair in Ludlow
Damaged bath in Ludlow? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Ludlow, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Questions from Ludlow
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
Across the UK, so Ludlow is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Are there extra charges for Ludlow?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. 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?
- Colour-matched on site
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Ludlow?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
