About our bath repair in Sheviock
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheviock as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Sheviock
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Common problems we fix in Sheviock
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What affects the price in Sheviock
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sheviock. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
