Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Signs you need bath repair in Ashendon

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips caused by builders

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ashendon

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

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashendon, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
