Repair or replace in Rufford?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rufford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rufford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need bath repair in Rufford
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What affects the price in Rufford
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
