Bath repair in Shobdon, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shobdon and across Herefordshire.

What affects the price in Shobdon

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shobdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common questions in Shobdon

Do you come to Shobdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shobdon and the rest of Herefordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What we are called out for in Shobdon

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
