What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair at your home in Ashwellthorpe
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ashwellthorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ashwellthorpe. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Ashwellthorpe
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 much does bath repair cost in Ashwellthorpe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you work in Ashwellthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashwellthorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Signs you need bath repair in Ashwellthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
