Bath repair in Burton-le-Coggles without replacing anything
You don’t 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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Burton-le-Coggles
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Burton-le-Coggles?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?

When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in Burton-le-Coggles
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Burton-le-Coggles. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs

For anyone letting property in or around Burton-le-Coggles, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
