Landlord and trade work in Shelfanger
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Shelfanger, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Shelfanger: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Shelfanger?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shelfanger?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP22 postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Shelfanger
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shelfanger. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
When to call us in Shelfanger
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
