Bath repair in Shottery

Common problems we fix in Shottery

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

About our bath repair in Shottery

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Shottery questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Shottery?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shottery from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Shottery

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Shottery, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
