- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Bath repair in Upper Shuckburgh without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive

- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace in Upper Shuckburgh?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Signs you need bath repair in Upper Shuckburgh
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Your questions about bath repair in Upper Shuckburgh
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upper Shuckburgh. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
