Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath repair in Cobhall Common
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Cobhall Common?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cobhall Common questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Cobhall Common is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
