How we handle bath repair in Ringwould
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Your questions about bath repair in Ringwould
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ringwould, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Ringwould
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Common problems we fix in Ringwould
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Ringwould?
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 whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
