DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t 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.
Your questions about bath repair in Ruskington
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What we’re called out for in Ruskington
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Ruskington
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
