About our bath repair in Ring o' Bells
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ring o' Bells, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ring o' Bells. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Repairing versus replacing in Ring o' Bells
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ring o' Bells. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in Ring o' Bells?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
