Ashford Hill questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are there extra charges for Ashford Hill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work in Ashford Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ashford Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we’re called out for in Ashford Hill

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Ashford Hill

For anyone letting property in or around Ashford Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashford Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
