Bath repair in Shieldhill, done in place
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. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shieldhill as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shieldhill. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shieldhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we are called out for in Shieldhill

Common reasons people in Shieldhill contact us are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
