Bath repair in Bower Ashton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in Bower Ashton
What affects the price in Bower Ashton
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bower Ashton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Questions from Bower Ashton
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bower Ashton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BS3 postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bower Ashton
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
