Bath repair in Cockyard, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cockyard. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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 generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Cockyard
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Cockyard and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
