Bath repair in Shillinglee, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips caused by builders.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Shillinglee
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

Repairing versus replacing in Shillinglee
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shillinglee. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Shillinglee
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shillinglee?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
