Bath repair in Shirdley Hill, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single 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.

Do you need bath repair in Shirdley Hill?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Are there extra charges for Shirdley Hill?

Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shirdley Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your L39 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
