Bath repair at your home in Riccarton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Riccarton

- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side

Common questions in Riccarton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Riccarton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

What else we do in Riccarton
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
