Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Bath repair in Ruardean, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repair or replace in Ruardean?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Ruardean
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ruardean?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL17 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What else we do in Ruardean
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Ruardean
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
