Bath repair in Shatterford, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Shatterford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shatterford. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Shatterford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Shatterford contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath repair in Shatterford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Shatterford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shatterford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What else we do in Shatterford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
