Chipped, cracked or worn bath in London? We repair and resurface acrylic, fibreglass, enamel and cast-iron baths on site, restoring the finish and colour without the mess and cost of a replacement.

Why choose Shazam Repairs
Repair is faster, cheaper and greener than replacement. Our technicians are experienced across domestic, commercial and high-end work, colour-match to your exact surface, and finish every repair to blend in seamlessly. Most jobs are completed in a single visit and are ready to use the same day.
What we can and can’t repair
Most surface damage on a bath is repairable in place. We routinely restore chips at the rim or base, hairline and stress cracks, scratches and scuffs, small holes, cigarette burns, rust spots on enamel and cast iron, and dull or yellowed surfaces that have lost their gloss. Where a bath has been drilled for old fittings or damaged around the waste, we fill and refinish the area so it blends with the surrounding surface. For isolated marks you can also read our dedicated chip repair and scratch repair pages.
A repair is not the right call when a bath is structurally split from end to end, has widespread delamination of an earlier resurfacing coat, or is so distorted that it no longer holds water. In those cases we will tell you honestly that replacement is the better option rather than sell you a repair that will not last.
How long a bath repair takes
A single chip or crack repair is usually completed in one visit within a couple of hours, and a full resurface of an entire bath typically takes around half a day on site. Fresh coatings need curing time before the bath is used, so we give you a clear “ready to use” time on the day, commonly the same evening or the following morning depending on the finish and temperature. Because the work is done in place, there is no rip-out, no plumbing disruption and no waiting for a replacement bath to be ordered and fitted.
Materials and finishes we work with
We repair acrylic, fibreglass (GRP), vitreous enamel, pressed steel and cast-iron baths, as well as matching shower trays. Every repair is colour-matched to your exact surface, including off-whites, creams and coloured suites, and finished to the original sheen so it blends in rather than standing out as a patch.

Bath repair FAQ
Can you repair a cracked acrylic bath rather than replace it?
Yes. Cracks and chips in acrylic baths are one of the most common jobs we do. We clean and prepare the area, fill and bond the damage, then refinish and colour-match so the repair blends into the surrounding surface. Send us a photo and we will confirm whether it is repairable.
Will the repaired area match the rest of the bath?
In almost all cases, yes. We colour-match to your specific bath and finish to the same gloss level, so a well-executed repair is very hard to spot. On older, heavily discoloured baths a full resurface gives the most uniform result.
How soon can I use the bath after a repair?
Most repairs are ready to use the same day once the finish has cured, and we will give you an exact time on site. Full resurfacing usually needs to be left a little longer, often overnight, for the best durability.
