Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle bath repair in Ravenfield Common
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Ravenfield Common
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
FAQs for Ravenfield Common
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are there extra charges for Ravenfield Common?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ravenfield Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Ravenfield Common
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- If travel is included in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
