How we handle bath repair in Ripon
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ripon and across North Yorkshire.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Ripon
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace in Ripon?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business

Questions from Ripon
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HG4 postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ripon
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
