FAQs for Roughway
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for Roughway?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How we handle bath repair in Roughway
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
