Bath repair in Aston Upthorpe without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Do you need bath repair in Aston Upthorpe?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Aston Upthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aston Upthorpe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
