Common problems we fix in Shellingford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath

About our bath repair in Shellingford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Shellingford
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shellingford. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
