Bath repair in Ravensthorpe without replacing anything

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ravensthorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Ravensthorpe

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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ravensthorpe questions

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Ravensthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ravensthorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Ravensthorpe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Ravensthorpe

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
