Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath repair at your home in Shippon
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chipped rim or side, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What else we do in Shippon
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Questions from Shippon
Do you cover Shippon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Shippon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Shippon?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repair or replace in Shippon?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Rust by the waste and overflow

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
