How we handle bath repair in Ashwick
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ashwick as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Questions from Ashwick
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, 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 photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ashwick?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
