Bath repair in Ashwater without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Ashwater
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ashwater. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashwater
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Ashwater questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When to call us in Ashwater
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in Ashwater contact us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
