Bath repair in Shaw, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shaw and across Wiltshire.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath repair in Shaw
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Shaw: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
