About our bath repair in Shucknall

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

When to call us in Shucknall

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Shucknall: your questions answered

How much does bath repair cost in Shucknall?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Herefordshire.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What affects the price in Shucknall

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Shucknall

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
