- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How we handle bath repair in Ravensworth
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Somewhere as small as Ravensworth, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. For a rural home like those around Ravensworth, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Common problems we fix in Ravensworth
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
For older houses around Ravensworth, near landmarks such as Church of St Peter and St Felix, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
