Bath repair for Cogges homes

How we handle bath repair in Cogges

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a kit repair that didn’t last.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace in Cogges?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

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. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Landlord and trade work in Cogges

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Common problems we fix in Cogges

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A chip where the taps sit

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
