DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Bath repair at your home in Shard End
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shard End and across Warwickshire.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Shard End
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you cover the entire of Warwickshire?
All of Warwickshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
