Bath Repair for Kings Ripton homes

- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Kings Ripton
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. You can normally use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What affects the price in Kings Ripton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Kings Ripton

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Kings Ripton
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
