How we handle bath repair in Shenley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Shenley?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What else we do in Shenley
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about bath repair in Shenley
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shenley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shenley
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Shenley
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shenley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For a price in Shenley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
