About our bath repair in Rossmore
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Rossmore
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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 bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rossmore. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Questions from Rossmore
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Poole.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you work in Rossmore?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rossmore and the rest of Poole. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
