How we handle bath repair in Ash
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ash and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath repair in Ash?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about bath repair in Ash
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
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.
