Questions from Ashurst
Do you cover Ashurst?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ashurst from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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 morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Ashurst

If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashurst. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Ashurst
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Ashurst contact us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
