Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shorwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Bath repair in Shorwell, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Shorwell questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Shorwell?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What affects the price in Shorwell
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shorwell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
