About our bath repair in Shortheath
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GU9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Questions from Shortheath
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Surrey?
We work UK-wide, so Shortheath is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
