About our bath repair in Rivenhall
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rivenhall and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Signs you need bath repair in Rivenhall
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairing versus replacing in Rivenhall
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Rivenhall: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Rivenhall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rivenhall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does bath repair cost in Rivenhall?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
