DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Shalford questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Somerset.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath repair cost in Shalford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
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.
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.
What affects the price in Shalford
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
