Bath repair in Cookstown without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Common questions in Cookstown
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cookstown. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Cookstown
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cookstown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Cookstown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Do you need bath repair in Cookstown?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repairing versus replacing in Cookstown
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before you book
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
