Shalcombe: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shalcombe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
About our bath repair in Shalcombe
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Do you need bath repair in Shalcombe?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Landlord and trade work in Shalcombe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
