Bath repair in Shuttlewood without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Shuttlewood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Do you need bath repair in Shuttlewood?

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Shuttlewood?

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 you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shuttlewood

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Shuttlewood

Do you come to Shuttlewood?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shuttlewood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
