Bath repair in Ravenfield, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. We’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ravenfield and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Ravenfield?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Ravenfield questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Ravenfield
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Ravenfield get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
