How we handle bath repair in Shieldhall

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Shieldhall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Shieldhall

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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