Bath repair at your home in Shootash
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Shootash
Do you need bath repair in Shootash?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Shootash questions
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover Shootash?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shootash from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Shootash?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Shootash, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
