Bath repair in South Shore without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in South Shore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Shore use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
South Shore: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in South Shore
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Repair or replace in South Shore?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
