  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

About our bath repair in Ashley Dale

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TF9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Ashley Dale

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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.

Do you cover Ashley Dale?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ashley Dale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ashley Dale

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashley Dale

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Ashley Dale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Ashley Dale

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Common reasons people in Ashley Dale contact us are:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
