Landlord and trade work in Shute
If you manage property in Shute, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath repair in Shute without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Shute
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Shute
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. 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.
What we’re called out for in Shute
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
