Bath repair at your home in Ringshall Stocks
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Ringshall Stocks: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath repair in Ringshall Stocks?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Ringshall Stocks, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
