Bath repair in Rownhams without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Rownhams
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Rownhams get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rownhams, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Rownhams
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rownhams
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rownhams as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
