Common questions in Cold Ashby
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, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How we handle bath repair in Cold Ashby
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Cold Ashby
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Do you need bath repair in Cold Ashby?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
