Bath repair in Ridgeway without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ridgeway as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What affects the price in Ridgeway
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Our work in Ridgeway
Ridgeway is about 4 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. We travel to clients in Ridgeway, so there’s no workshop to go to. Ridgeway is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our jobs stretch from Ridgeway to London (about 53 miles away).
Our technicians cover all of TN25.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What else we do in Ridgeway
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Ridgeway
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
