About our bath repair in Cofton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Cofton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Cofton: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we’re called out for in Cofton

- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
