About our bath repair in Ashton Hayes

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Ashton Hayes

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Ashton Hayes

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton Hayes

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton Hayes use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
