Bath repair in Cocking without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in Cocking
Repairing versus replacing in Cocking
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cocking. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GU29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Cocking
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Cocking
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cocking use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Cocking
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

Cocking: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you cover Cocking?
We do. We send a technician to Cocking for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
