Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Ridge
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Ridge
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
