Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath repair at your home in Shaw
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 Shaw
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Landlord and trade work in Shaw
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
