Bath repair in Shotton

How we handle bath repair in Shotton

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CH5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common questions in Shotton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

What areas do you cover?

All of Flintshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
