Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Do you need bath repair in Ashurst?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Ashurst
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
