How we handle bath repair in Richards Castle
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Richards Castle
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Richards Castle and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Richards Castle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Richards Castle. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything

Places near Richards Castle
Also in Richards Castle
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Richards Castle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What affects the price in Richards Castle
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Richards Castle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Richards Castle
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
