Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Shuttington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we’re called out for in Shuttington

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Repair or replace in Shuttington?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What affects the price in Shuttington

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most customers in Shuttington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Shuttington

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Shuttington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shuttington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
