When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
When to call us in Ridge
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Ridge
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ridge. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most clients in Ridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Ridge questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
