Your questions about bath repair in Shrewley
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How we handle bath repair in Shrewley
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Shrewley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price

What affects the price in Shrewley
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
