- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Your questions about bath repair in Ravelston
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ravelston
- Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ravelston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ravelston. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
