Repairing versus replacing in Ripley
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of 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, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What else we do in Ripley
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HG3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath repair in Ripley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ripley

Questions from Ripley
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Ripley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ripley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What affects the price in Ripley
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ripley. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
