How we handle bath repair in Rosehill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Rosehill
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rosehill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Questions from Rosehill
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Rosehill clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything

For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
