Common problems we fix in Shortfield Common
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Shortfield Common
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Shortfield Common and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Shortfield Common
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you come to Shortfield Common?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shortfield Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
