Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Bath repair at your home in Shackerley

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Shackerley questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we are called out for in Shackerley

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Shackerley?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WV7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

For anyone letting property in or around Shackerley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
