Bath repair for Ashby Hill homes

When to call us in Ashby Hill

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How we handle bath repair in Ashby Hill

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and rusty patches near the plughole.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashby Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
