What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

- 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 usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath repair at your home in Ashley
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Ashley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What affects the price in Ashley
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
