About our bath repair in Rockbourne
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rockbourne
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rockbourne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Rockbourne
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Common reasons people in Rockbourne contact us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Rockbourne
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Rockbourne questions
Will the repair show?
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.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover Rockbourne?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rockbourne. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Rockbourne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
