About our bath repair in Ashingdon
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Ashingdon?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need bath repair in Ashingdon?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SS4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Ashingdon questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover Ashingdon?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ashingdon and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
