Ashford: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
About our bath repair in Ashford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ashford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ashford. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Ashford and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
