Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair at your home in Askett
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 repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Askett
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Askett?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Askett, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Askett
What happens if you find more damage?

Do you charge for travel?
