About our bath repair in Shawford
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Shawford
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Shawford. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you cover Shawford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shawford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Signs you need bath repair in Shawford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Shawford, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
