Clients typically contact us about:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Ashford Bowdler: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashford Bowdler as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
