Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle bath repair in Rockcliffe
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Rockcliffe
Are there extra charges for Rockcliffe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Rockcliffe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common problems we fix in Rockcliffe
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone

- What prep work is covered

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Rockcliffe
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
Take a look at our prices page or bath cost comparison.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
