Bath chip & crack repair in Roughdown, Hampshire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Roughdown, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Roughdown
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

FAQs for Roughdown
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work in Roughdown?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Roughdown for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughdown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
