About our bath repair in Riverside
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Riverside as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Riverside
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your FK8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Riverside
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath repair in Riverside
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you come to Riverside?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Riverside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Riverside included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Landlord and trade work in Riverside
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
