How we handle bath repair in Ashton Green
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ashton Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Questions from Ashton Green
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Ashton Green?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ashton Green and the rest of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashton Green. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
