Bath repair at your home in Ridgewell
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ridgewell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Ridgewell questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ridgewell as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common reasons people in Ridgewell contact us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
