Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Ruishton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Your questions about bath repair in Ruishton
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ruishton.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Ruishton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
