What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Bath repair in Coolham, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coolham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Coolham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Coolham
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coolham.
Repair or replace in Coolham?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Coolham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Coolham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
