- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Ramsey without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Ramsey
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Ramsey
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Ramsey and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair show?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When to call us in Ramsey
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from 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 without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What affects the price in Ramsey
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
