Bath repair in Sholden Meadows without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sholden Meadows and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Sholden Meadows
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. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What happens on the day
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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Sholden Meadows
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sholden Meadows. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Sholden Meadows get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
