For anyone letting property in or around Coddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we handle bath repair in Coddington
A damaged bath does not 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 so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath repair in Coddington
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When to call us in Coddington
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coddington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Coddington
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
