Bath repair across Cookstown: what to expect
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Signs you need bath repair
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
Repair or 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Cookstown: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
