Bath repair at your home in Rickling Green
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Rickling Green: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rickling Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What else we do in Rickling Green
Signs you need bath repair in Rickling Green
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
