How we handle bath repair in Shabbington
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Common questions in Shabbington
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Shabbington and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shabbington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
