How bath repair works in SY8
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
What it costs in SY8
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landmarks near Ludlow
We visit homes around St John's, St Laurence CofE Primary School and Ludlow College and the streets around them. Ludlow has its own railway station: Ludlow station. Nearby you will also find Ludlow Castle (0.5 miles west) and Ludlow Community Hospital (less than half a mile north). The countryside around Ludlow includes High Vinnalls.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around SY8, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit.

Signs you need bath repair
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
SY8: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in SY8?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to SY8 and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in SY8.
