Bath repair in Ash Mill without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ash Mill. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Ash Mill
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Ash Mill: your questions answered
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ash Mill included. Travel is included in the price.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Ash Mill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
