About our bath repair in Ripley
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ripley and across Derbyshire.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What affects the price in Ripley
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Ripley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Landlord and trade work in Ripley
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Ripley questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ripley is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
