DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair in Rampside without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rampside
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rampside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Rampside
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
