What we’re called out for in Ryecroft
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ryecroft use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in Ryecroft
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover Ryecroft?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ryecroft from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Ryecroft
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
