Bath repair in Shroton without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in Shroton
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Shroton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What else we do in Shroton
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
