Bath repair at your home in Shipton Moyne
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. 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.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipton Moyne
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match

- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

Common questions in Shipton Moyne
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we’re called out for in Shipton Moyne
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
