Bath Repair in Cold Row
Fixed-price bath repair in Cold Row and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Cold Row
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Cold Row
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Cold Row
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Cold Row
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
