Bath Repair for Ropley homes
Our repair technicians come to Ropley for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Bath repair at your home in Ropley
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 damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Ropley
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Ropley questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ropley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
