Bath repair in Ashton without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Ashton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ashton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should you replace it?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Ashton clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Ashton questions

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ashton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Ashton

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
