About our bath repair in Three Ashes

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips under the taps, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Three Ashes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Signs you need bath repair in Three Ashes

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Three Ashes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Three Ashes, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
