- Repairs from £95
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Mears Ashby
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Mears Ashby
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mears Ashby
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Mears Ashby questions
How much does bath repair cost in Mears Ashby?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mears Ashby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
