Raithby: your questions answered
Do you come to Raithby?
We do. Technicians travel to Raithby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
About our bath repair in Raithby
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Raithby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most clients in Raithby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
