When to call us in Eight Ash Green
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How we handle bath repair in Eight Ash Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 typically the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Eight Ash Green

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eight Ash Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
