What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Bath repair in Ashley without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashley and across Hampshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Your questions about bath repair in Ashley

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Ashley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Ashley?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Ashley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashley. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
