About our bath repair in North Ripley
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in North Ripley
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in North Ripley
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

North Ripley questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to North Ripley. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
