FAQs for Cockshoot
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Bath repair in Cockshoot, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Cockshoot get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Cockshoot
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected

Repair or replace in Cockshoot?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
