DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
When to call us in Ropsley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What affects the price in Ropsley
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Questions from Ropsley
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
