Bath repair in Coedway, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Coedway

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coedway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repair or replace in Coedway?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
