Shuttleworth: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How much does bath repair cost in Shuttleworth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shuttleworth. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BL0 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Shuttleworth
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shuttleworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
