About our bath repair in Cockpole Green

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cockpole Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cockpole Green: your questions answered

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

What we are called out for in Cockpole Green

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
