How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from Cold Overton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the entire of Rutland?
We cover the entire UK, including Cold Overton and the rest of Rutland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Repair or replace in Cold Overton?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cold Overton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Other services in Cold Overton
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Cold Overton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Cold Overton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
