Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it

Do you need bath repair in Cooper's Green?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Cooper's Green: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for Cooper's Green?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Cooper's Green

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cooper's Green. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works

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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
