About our bath repair in Rothienorman
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Rothienorman
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Your questions about bath repair in Rothienorman
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
