Bath repair in Rickarton without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Rickarton
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
