The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

Bath repair in Assington without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common questions in Assington
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Assington is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need bath repair in Assington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
