Bath repair in Canley, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Canley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Canley
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
All of Coventry, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Nothing taken out or refitted

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Canley
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
