Bath repair at your home in Shutlanger
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shutlanger as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

What bath repair costs

- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Common problems we fix in Shutlanger
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Shutlanger: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
