FAQs for Ashley Down
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Ashley Down?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashley Down
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Ashley Down
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
