Bath repair in Ryton without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ryton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ryton

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ryton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
