Bath repair in Ranby without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and rust by the waste and overflow.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Ranby?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Ranby
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What else we do in Ranby
Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ranby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

- 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.
