If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Ringstead
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

When to call us in Ringstead
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
