About our bath repair in Riby
We see 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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Riby
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How much does bath repair cost in Riby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath repair in Riby
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Riby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Riby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
