About our bath repair in Shirehampton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace in Shirehampton?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Shirehampton
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
