Bath repair in Roa Island, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we are called out for in Roa Island
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roa Island as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Roa Island
Roa Island questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
