About our bath repair in Ramsey Island
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ramsey Island. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Ramsey Island
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
