Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashey. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Bath repair in Ashey without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashey
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Ashey
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashey
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

FAQs for Ashey
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
