How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Bath repair in Four Ashes, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Four Ashes. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Common problems we fix in Four Ashes

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath repair in Four Ashes

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
