Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Ridlington
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Ridlington
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
