How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Bath repair in Ravenswood without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Ravenswood

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ravenswood. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ravenswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

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.

Ravenswood questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ravenswood

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Ravenswood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Do you need bath repair in Ravenswood?

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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 a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
