Bath repair near Cock Bank

Repairing versus replacing in Cock Bank

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Cock Bank clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Bath repair in Cock Bank without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

When to call us in Cock Bank

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, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
