How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath repair at your home in Shefford Woodlands
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shefford Woodlands as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Shefford Woodlands
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

FAQs for Shefford Woodlands
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
