Bath repair at your home in Raffles
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Raffles
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Your questions about bath repair in Raffles
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
