About our bath repair in Shephall
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Shephall
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shephall: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What we’re called out for in Shephall
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shephall
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Shephall
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
