About our bath repair in Romannobridge
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Romannobridge questions
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What affects the price in Romannobridge
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Romannobridge. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
