How we handle bath repair in Shalstone
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Shalstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Shalstone: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Shalstone?
We do. We send a technician to Shalstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What else we do in Shalstone
Repair or replace in Shalstone?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shalstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
