Bath repair for Shelton homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Bath repair in Shelton, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Shelton

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in Shelton contact us include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shelton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shelton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Common questions in Shelton

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you come to Shelton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shelton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
