Bath repair in Ridgeway, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Ridgeway
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridgeway as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Ridgeway questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ridgeway?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ridgeway, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Ridgeway?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
