What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

FAQs for Astwood Bank

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How do I get a price for bath repair in Astwood Bank?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B96 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the repair show?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Astwood Bank, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Astwood Bank

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
