Bath repair in Ashwood, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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 entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Ashwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Ashwood?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Ashwood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
