How we handle bath repair in Ashwell
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.

Ashwell: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Common problems we fix in Ashwell
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Ashwell
If you manage property in Ashwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ashwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
