How we handle bath repair in Ayot Green
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ayot Green. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Ayot Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What else we do in Ayot Green
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

Signs you need bath repair in Ayot Green
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
