Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashby by Partney. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

When to call us in Ashby by Partney
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Ashby by Partney: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Ashby by Partney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
