How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What affects the price in Shover's Green
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Shover's Green: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover Shover's Green?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shover's Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

When to call us in Shover's Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
