Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle bath repair in Rooksdown
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Rooksdown
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What else we do in Rooksdown
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we’re called out for in Rooksdown

The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
