Questions from Ryal Fold
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Bath repair in Ryal Fold without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need bath repair in Ryal Fold?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our pricing or bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
