How bath repair works in WV7
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landmarks near Albrighton
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Mary Magdalene, Shrewsbury Arms and Albrighton Primary School & Nursery, among other places. The closest station to Albrighton is Albrighton station, roughly 0.5 miles east of the centre. A little further out are RAF Hospital Cosford (1.2 miles north) and Tong Castle (2.2 miles north-west).
How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about bath repair in WV7
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
