Bath repair for Ashford Common homes

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Bath repair at your home in Ashford Common

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Repair or replace in Ashford Common?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Ashford Common: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When to call us in Ashford Common

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 the acrylic gives way.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ashford Common. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not 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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
