Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Aston Tirrold questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aston Tirrold. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aston Tirrold as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
