Bath chip & crack repair in Shellbrook, Leicestershire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Shellbrook, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Shellbrook without replacing anything
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Shellbrook
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Shellbrook?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need bath repair in Shellbrook?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Most customers in Shellbrook get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
