Bath repair in Ashley without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repair or replace in Ashley?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Ashley
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Ashley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashley. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
