Bath repair at your home in Shaw Mills
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shaw Mills and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shaw Mills. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Shaw Mills questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
