How we handle bath repair in Ayston
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Ayston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

What information do you need?

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 holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
