Bath repair at your home in Ridsdale
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For anyone letting property in or around Ridsdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Ridsdale
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ridsdale. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
