Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Coate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Coate
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Coate: your questions answered
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Coate?
We do. Technicians travel to Coate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
