What affects the price in Shotley
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shotley. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need bath repair in Shotley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Common reasons people in Shotley contact us are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
