Bath repair in Shalfleet without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips on the rim or sides.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Shalfleet
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Other services in Shalfleet
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shalfleet use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Do not 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.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shalfleet

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Shalfleet get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath repair in Shalfleet
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shalfleet included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath 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 work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Shalfleet?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
