Bath repair in Shillingford St George without replacing anything
You do not 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. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Shillingford St George
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we do, step by step
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 a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shillingford St George
If you manage property in Shillingford St George, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shillingford St George as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
