Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ben Rhydding. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we are called out for in Ben Rhydding
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What else we do in Ben Rhydding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Ben Rhydding
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LS29 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
