What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Shorthampton
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Landlord and trade work in Shorthampton
If you manage property in Shorthampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Signs you need bath repair in Shorthampton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
