About our bath repair in Ravenshead
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ravenshead. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Ravenshead

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ravenshead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ravenshead
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ravenshead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
