When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Shadsworth
What happens next?

Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
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 will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
