Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath repair in Ragnall, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ragnall and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Ragnall: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Ragnall.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Ragnall and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There’s 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.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
