Your questions about bath repair in Canons Ashby
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Bath repair in Canons Ashby, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

What we’re called out for in Canons Ashby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
