Bath repair near Shrewsbury

Bath repair in Shrewsbury without replacing anything

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, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.

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

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Shrewsbury: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Shrewsbury?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. 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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Shrewsbury. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For anyone letting property in or around Shrewsbury, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
