Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair in Ashley without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Ashley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.

What else we do in Ashley
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
