How we handle bath repair in Cockshutt
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath repair in Cockshutt
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Cockshutt
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cockshutt. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
