Bath repair in Ashampstead, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath repair in Ashampstead?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts

What affects the price in Ashampstead
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace in Ashampstead?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashampstead use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Ashampstead
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ashampstead is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
