Bath repair in Shawbost without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. 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. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shawbost and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawbost
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shawbost use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shawbost, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shawbost questions

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Shawbost?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Signs you need bath repair in Shawbost
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
