Bath repair at your home in Shawlands
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. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Shawlands
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shawlands, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Shawlands
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Shawlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
