How we handle bath repair in Rickford
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bath and North East Somerset.

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we are called out for in Rickford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Your questions about bath repair in Rickford
Do you come to Rickford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rickford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Rickford is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
