- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle bath repair in Coombe
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: 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. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Coombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Coombe questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Coombe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Coombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
