Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Bath repair in Rich's Holford, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
FAQs for Rich's Holford
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Rich's Holford.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Rich's Holford
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rich's Holford. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Rich's Holford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
When to call us in Rich's Holford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Rich's Holford contact us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
