Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Shutford
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Shutford
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Shutford questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Shutford included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
