Bath repair at your home in Roche
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Questions from Roche
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Roche is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What we do, step by step
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 a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Roche
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Roche. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Landlord and trade work in Roche
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Roche, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

What else we do in Roche
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
