Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WS15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Bath repair in Cold Well, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Cold Well
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items

Cold Well questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Cold Well?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cold Well. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
