DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Shawbury
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Shawbury
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
