Book bath repair in Cooper Street

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

About our bath repair in Cooper Street

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Cooper Street

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Cooper Street clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cooper Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Cooper Street: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Cooper Street

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
