How we handle bath repair in Cofton Common
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Cofton Common
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Cofton Common
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Cofton Common contact us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Questions from Cofton Common
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cofton Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Cofton Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
