Bath repair in Astbury, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

Most clients in Astbury get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Astbury as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.

- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common problems we fix in Astbury
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
