Bath chip & crack repair in Ramsdell, Hampshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Ramsdell, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
About our bath repair in Ramsdell
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ramsdell as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What else we do in Ramsdell

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Ramsdell
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Ramsdell
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
