Common problems we fix in Shutta
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Landlord and trade work in Shutta
If you manage property in Shutta, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Shutta
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Shutta and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Shutta: your questions answered
Do you come to Shutta?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shutta and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What your bath is made of matters
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
