- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Bath repair in Coity, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coity. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Coity and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about bath repair in Coity
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Coity?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coity for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Coity
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
Other services in Coity
Repair or replace in Coity?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
