Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Bath repair at your home in Ridgeway View
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get 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
Signs you need bath repair in Ridgeway View
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
