Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shillingford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Shillingford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shillingford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common questions in Shillingford
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
