Bath repair in Shore, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Shore

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common problems we fix in Shore
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath repair in Shore
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
