When to call us in Cockett
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic

How we handle bath repair in Cockett
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Cockett
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Cockett
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
