Bath repair in Ashfield, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What else we do in Ashfield
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SO51 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ashfield
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Ashfield
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
