About our bath repair in Aston
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Landlord and trade work in Aston
If you manage property in Aston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Aston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Aston, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in Aston
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Aston contact us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
