Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Do you need bath repair in Ringland?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

FAQs for Ringland

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
