About our bath repair in Riseholme
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Riseholme
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

When to call us in Riseholme
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What affects the price in Riseholme
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Riseholme
Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Riseholme
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
