DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Ranmoor without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ranmoor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ranmoor. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Ranmoor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
When to call us in Ranmoor
Rust generally 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.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Ranmoor
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ranmoor?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S10 postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
