- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Shawfair
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Shawfair
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Shawfair
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shawfair. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Shawfair: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shawfair?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH22 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What we are called out for in Shawfair
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
